Shot-down, but in a weird way. Let me explain.

I applied for this position. I was really excited about it because it was something new and challenging. It was a sure thing, I was a shoe-in to get this position. No one had the fucking skills I have for this. HOWEVER the lady making the decisions didn't think.
In a subtle way I was rejected. As if cut by a subtle knife.
I was told that based on my answers in the interview that I wouldn't find the position interesting enough and boring. In a blind, dumb stupor I agreed and without even knowing it I relented to the rejection right there on the phone. I answered the phone thinking we were going to talk salary numbers and before I knew it I was acquiescing to a full-on, 'you're not the person we're looking for'. I didn't say, "No, you're wrong. I think you read my body language wrong. I am so the person that comes out of the blue and blow your ass out.". Yeah, I know this is software or little or no consequence to a large part of the world, very few lives are going to change because of my work, but it's the fervor at which I would attack this shit that would blow your mind and change the course of this company that is so desperately trying to incorporate software development into it's repertoire.
